The greatest assets of any country are the children they prepare for future governance of their society. The reality, whether we want to believe it or not, is that we are investing in our future as we grow old. The children’s’ lives we shape today will determine our future as a nation.
 

Therefore it is every stakeholder’s duty and responsibility to positively stimulate and educate our children, to protect them in their young and vulnerable state and to be positive role models as children learn best through observation and role playing. Therefore it is the responsibility of every well-thinking Jamaican to return to the days when we look after every child, not just our own biological ones. 

Practice discipline, respect for others, manners and a strong sense of self. Too often as a nation we rely on educational institutions to shape our children to be good citizens, but act in contradiction of the said institutions you expect to carry out its duties in creating positive well thinking Jamaicans. Our children learn what is dubbed as the “Hidden Curriculum” - that is, the way they truly see members of the society act. The reality is school is not the only place where a child grows and learns. They are being taught in the homes, the communities and on the nation’s streets.
